The first month of the spring, March, is still a hot month in Belawan, Indonesia, with temperature in the range of an average low of 25.1°C (77.2°F) and an average high of 31.4°C (88.5°F).

Temperature

With the start of March, Belawan measures an average high-temperature of a still tropical 31.4°C (88.5°F), not significantly differing from February's 30.5°C (86.9°F). During March, Belawan experiences an average low-temperature of 25.1°C (77.2°F) at night.

Heat index

The average heat index in March is estimated at a blistering 40°C (104°F). Exercise special caution, heat exhaustion and heat cramps are probable. Prolonged activity may induce heatstroke.
Be aware that heat index ratings are designed for shaded locations and minor breezes. Exposure to the sun directly might heighten the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees.
Note: The heat index, also known as 'feels like' or 'felt air temperature', is the outcome of merging air's temperature and its humidity metrics. A person's impression of weather can be shaped by several aspects, among them metabolic variations, pregnancy, and levels of physical activity. Sunshine, when direct, has the potential to intensify weather effects, leading to an increase in the heat index by 15 Fahrenheit (8 Celsius) degrees. Heat index values are particularly relevant to children. In general, children are more at risk than adults because they sweat less. Furthermore, the large skin surface compared to their small bodies and the high heat production due to their actions contribute to this vulnerability.
Perspiration, which is the evaporation of sweat, is a primary way the human body manages and dispels excessive warmth. Augmented relative humidity impedes typical body cooling mechanisms by lowering the evaporation rate, resulting in decreased body cooling and an amplified perception of heat. Inadequate heat shedding in the face of rising body temperatures hints at potential dehydration risks.

Humidity

March, June through August, with an average relative humidity of 75%, are the least humid months.

Rainfall

In March, the rain falls for 25.3 days. Throughout March, 99mm (3.9") of precipitation is accumulated. In Belawan, during the entire year, the rain falls for 317.8 days and collects up to 1437mm (56.57") of precipitation.

UV index

January through December, with an average maximum UV index of 7, are months with the highest UV index in Belawan. The months with the lowest UV index are January through December, with an average maximum UV index of 7. A UV Index reading of 6 to 7 represents a high health vulnerability from exposure to the Sun's UV radiation for ordinary individuals.
Note: An average UV index of 7 in March transforms into this advice:
Embrace precautions and observe sun safety norms. Evasion of sunburn is a necessity. UV radiation from the sun is at its strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Try to limit direct exposure during these hours. Wearing sunglasses with both UVA and UVB protection effectively reduces sun-induced eye damage. Heads up! UV intensity is amplified by reflections from water and sand.
